Updated look at which Colts' free agents remain unsigned

[ASFN Admin]

Nearly three weeks into the NFL's free agency period, which of the Indianapolis Colts' own free agents remain unsigned this offseason?

The Colts entered free agency with a whopping 21 of their own unrestricted free agents this offseason. GM Chris Ballard would make a few re-signings and several have ended up elsewhere, but the majority of that group remain unsigned.

Last offseason, Ballard made it a point of emphasis to re-sign his own players, which meant only making two outside additions in free agency--Joe Flacco and Raekwon Davis. However, banking on continuity being a catalyst for this group backfired, and after the 2024 season, Ballard would call his roster construction approach a year ago a "mistake."

To remedy this, Ballard wants to lean into the competition element this season, and part of the equation when it comes to accomplishing that is roster turnover.

So, of the Colts' 2025 unrestricted free agent class, which players have already signed elsewhere, and who remains available in free agency? Let's take an updated look at where things now stand.

Colts free agents re-signed​

• WR Ashton Dulin
• OL Danny Pinter
• OL Wesley French
• CB David Long Jr.

Colts free agents who signed elsewhere​

• OL Will Fries (Minnesota)
• OL Ryan Kelly (Minnesota)
• LB Grant Stuard (Detroit)
• DE Dayo Odeyingbo (Chicago)
• TE Kylen Granson (Philadelphia)
• EJ Speed (Houston)

Colts free agents still available​

• IDL Raekwon Davis: The Colts released Davis prior to free agency to free up over $6 million in salary cap space. In a rotational role in 2024, his impact was minimal.
• TE Mo Alie-Cox: Alie-Cox has provided the Colts with a blocking presence for a number of years. With this offseason feeling like an opportunity to hit reset at the tight end position, I would guess he signs elsewhere.
• QB Joe Flacco: Flacco could provide a veteran presence for a few teams that are still searching for a quarterback or to fill the backup role.
• S Julian Blackmon: Blackmon played through a shoulder injury last season and transitioned back to free safety, where his production dipped compared to 2023. With Cam Bynum and Nick Cross, Blackmon won't be returning. He reportedly visited with Carolina recently.
• IDL Taven Bryan: Like Davis, Bryan filled a rotational role and his impact against both the run and pass was minimal, according to PFF's metrics.
• OL Mark Glowinski: The Colts need more interior offensive line depth, but that likely won't come from Glowinski with Danny Pinter and Wesley French being re-signed.
• S Ronnie Harrison: I do think Harrison could have a path back to the Colts, given his versatility and special teams experience, and this is a position that still needs depth added to it. With that said, if that were going to happen, perhaps it would have happened already.
• WR Juwann Winfree: Both in terms of the 53-man roster and overall depth, the Colts are pretty well set at wide receiver.
• RB Trey Sermon: I would guess another addition here is coming in the draft, given how deep this year's class is, but with the addition of Khalil Herbert, that adds some stability to this room behind Jonathan Taylor.
• QB Sam Ehlinger: With the top two spots on the quarterback depth chart accounted for, I would expect the Colts to bank on Jason Bean's upside for that third quarterback spot rather than bringing back Ehlinger again.
• CB Tre Flowers: As mentioned, the cornerback room has done a 180 this offseason and is now quite full.
